Crochet PATTERNS Drought

NO CROCHET BLOGS FOR A MONTH !

yes I have been too busy crocheting to blog

the month of May was here and now it is gone.

June is upon me 

AND my suitcase is packed for my trip "DOWN UNDER"

for the birth of my first grandchild

I am so excited... woo hoo!

however that's a story for another time,

right here and now let's focus on the crochet!

Month of May was consumed by "secret squirrel" crochet 

for DMC Creative World 

which I can't tell you about until it is published.

AND crocheting for my daughter's first baby, 

WHICH IS yet to be born 

and hopefully it will wait until I arrive. LOL

Naturally, I can't show you what I've crochet for her either

because I want it to be a surprise for her first

so you will have to wait patiently  

for the blog revealing my crochet surprise

end of June.  

Of course, once all these crocheting projects were finished, 

I managed to finish some other projects I had to put aside.

AND NOW I can START TO SHARE with you

EASY TRAVEL CROCHET SLIPPERS

Barefoot Girl

Yes, I admit I am happiest barefoot, my feet are my thermostat, once in the door my shoes and socks are off and my feet are naked! 

However, every now and then especially when travelling during cooler weather a pair of slippers are absolutely essential.

AND I always prefer SHOES OFF once you cross the threshold. So, literally two days before we took to the road I whipped up these

EASY, QUICK TRAVEL CROCHET SLIPPERS

This pattern is very easy and quite quick to make up and best of all no sewing apart from hiding yarn ends and attaching the perfect heart or some other kind of embellishment.

Attaching the perfect heart at an angle and off centre made it easier to identify which slipper went on which foot. You know LEFT or RIGHT foot, I know I am getting old.

Anyway, I only jotted down a few notes re the pattern prior to my travels, so on my return from our trip away, I decided yesterday to write the full pattern out and re-check it and share it with you. 

Hope you enjoy, Ciao, ciao.
